Depression is a common mental disorder that is characterized by, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, feeling of sadness, loneliness, disturbed sleep or appetite, low energy, and poor concentration. An illness that involves the body, mood, and thoughts that affects the way a person feels about oneself, and the way one thinks about things. These problems can become chronic or recurrent and lead to substantial impairments in an individual's ability to take care of his or her everyday responsibilities. It is not a sign of personal weakness or a condition that can be wished away. People suffering from depression cannot merely "pull themselves together" and get better. At its worst, depression can lead to suicide- a tragic fatality associated with the loss of many lives every year.

Being depressed is not only an emotional response but a response to certain functions in your mind and body. When your energy level drops you become more depressed. The various organs malfunctions in your body help to create the depressed feeling. Your hormonal system especially is involved. The hormonal system balances your body biochemistry to keep going, especially if energy level declines. Both men and women have hormonal cycle which has up and down swings. On the up-swing you can feel relatively okay. On the down-swing your depressed feelings are much more.

When this state continues and habits form, chronic depression takes over. This state leads to health problems and you are less able to cope with stress which can lead into … severe depression.

What Causes Depression?

The reasons for depression are not quite clear. There may not be just one cause but many. Depression was divided into two types, endogenous and neurotic. Endogenous means that the depression comes from within the body, perhaps of genetic origin, or comes out of nowhere. Neurotic or reactive depression has a clear environmental precipitating factor, such as the death of a near one, or other significant loss, such as the loss of a job, being continuously in a state of stress with other variety of contributing factors that accumulate over time lead us to feeling of being defeated, demoralized, hopeless and helpless and depressed. Sometimes, with factors like low self-esteem or anxiety, it may be almost impossible to say which causes what.

Whatever the cause, the symptoms and impaired functions, a depressive disorder is a syndrome (group of symptoms) that reflects a sad and/or irritable mood exceeding normal sadness or grief. More specifically, the sadness of depression is characterized by a greater intensity and duration and by more severe symptoms and functional disabilities than is normal.

Brain Chemistry

Brain chemistry can play an important role, but the role of genetic make-up in causing biochemical imbalances (which can create depression) has not been fully established. No specific depression gene has been found. We are biological creatures and therefore sensitive to the environment, family and cultural influences. Most people overestimate the biochemistry factor when evidence is far stronger for depression having its origins in the way people think about, and respond to, life experiences.

Imbalances of substances such as serotonin, nor-adrenaline, and dopamine, usually return to normal levels in the body, when there has been a successful interaction with psychotherapy for the treatment of depression. Usually there is no further need to take any medication to correct such an imbalance. This suggests that the imbalance is the body’s physical response to psychological depression, rather than the other way around.

“Depression is not something you can successfully fight yourselves. It is thought to be caused by an imbalance of brain chemicals, among other factors. Like any serious medical condition, depression needs to be treated by professionals”.

Social Environment

There is an established understanding that family environment can have relevance in producing depression. A child by observing the behavior of a depressed parent or other family member gets influenced to produce negative responses, which can stay with him into later life. Everyday life is now a faster and more complex, with higher demands being placed on the individual. Jobs are not as secure as they once were. Hours spent watching TV or on the Internet can result in poor socialization.

Are you depressed...Common symptoms of depression?

If you have experienced five or more of these depression symptoms within the same two week period--especially if a depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure is among your symptoms--this could be indicative of an episode of depression. The symptoms should not be accounted for by another illness, drugs of abuse or prescription medications.

Emotional

Depressed Mood: A person may report feeling "sad" or "empty" or may cry frequently. Children and adolescents may exhibit irritability.

Thoughts of suicide: A depressed person may have recurring thoughts of death, especially thoughts of suicide, with or without a specific plan. Those affected (in some countries fewer than 10 %) receive such treatments.

Feelings of Worthlessness or Guilt: A depressed person may feel that they have no value or they may feel inappropriately guilty about things they have no control over.

Behavioral/Attitude

Decreased Interest or Pleasure: A person may show markedly diminished interest or pleasure in all, or almost all, daily activities.

"Brain Fog”: A depressed person may have a diminished ability to think, concentrate or make decisions

Psychomotor Agitation or Retardation: The person may be observed to be either agitated or restless or physically slowed down in their movements.

Others: Like neglecting responsibilities and personal appearance

Physical

Weight Change: Significant changes in weight when not attempting to gain or lose (a gain or loss of 5% or more in a month) may be indicative of depression. In children, this may also present as a failure to make expected weight gains.

Sleep Disturbances: Insomnia or sleeping too much may be a symptom of depression.

Children and adolescents with depression may also experience the symptoms described above but may exhibit other symptoms instead of or in addition to those symptoms, including the following:

Poor school performance

Persistent boredom

Frequent complaints of physical problems such as headaches and stomachaches

Some of the symptoms of depression may also be more or less obvious in children compared to the actual emotions of sadness- such as a change in eating or sleeping patterns. (Has the child or teen lost or gained weight in recent weeks or months? Does he or she seem more tired than usual?) Teen depression may be characterized by the adolescent taking more risks, showing less concern for own safety.
